1996.12.23 15:43 "PC Utility to Uncompress Tar Files", by Nuri Boydstun
Item Subject: Re: Your Message / Dos Utilities for Batch Tiff Conversion
I used Keyview to uncompress the tar file on my PC. I got Keyview as
an addon to Netscape. I am runing WinNT but I assume it would work
with Win95 also.
Sincerely,

Sir,
I am thankful to you for your prompt reply.
I did access the above site (ftp.sgi.com /graphics/tiff/)
but all the files are in "Unix tar" compressed format.
We do not have access to any Unix machine. We only have access to only
DOS/Win95 based 486 PCs. We could not uncompress the above files.
We would be highly grateful if you could help us.
Regards.
